Planting calendars

Starting to think about the new season... sort of...

My garden is in zone 6b. This calendar gives a nice graphic to help "picture" the flow of crops:

Hoop house

Well, I had to give up on the hoop house. I don't know if it would have provided adequate protection against the cold if I had had a better bottom seal. I'm pretty optimistic about it though.

Without the bottom seal the temperature protection wasn't maximized, and wind kept getting under the plastic and lifting it up and off the arches. I couldn't keep up with recovering it.

So it was a good experiment and proved that, at least this year, we could have had decent greens and roots through December, at least. Stay tuned for the next experiment.

Summer blueberries.

Reaping the bounty still. This morning I made a blueberry popover following the recipe in the Tassajara bread book.

Easier than pancakes if you can believe it.
